    People will always debate the validity of polls

    But you can't debate where people put their money. Money talks

    According to the money, Trump is an odds on favorite to win in November.

    I think they factor in everything they think they know

    why do you think the spread on sporting events is usually spot on?

    Jeez, its not even close.
    Regarding fraudulent mail voting, it would have to occur in contestable states. Cacalackie can stuff all they wish but there are no more EC votes because of it.

    It's going to occur in all 50 states.

    Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., have introduced legislation to promote and help fund mail-in ballot efforts.

    “In light of the threats that this virus poses, every American should be able to cast a ballot by mail without excuse,” Klobuchar and Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., wrote, urging Congress to include funding for mail-in elections in emergency packages.

    “That means states will have to scale their vote-by-mail processes in a way that hasn’t been done before.”

    https://www.propublica.org/article/voting-by-mail-would-reduce-coronavirus-transmission-but-it-has-other-risks

    • 33 states and the District of Columbia allow early voting with no-excuse required.
    • 27 states and the District of Columbia permit voters to vote absentee without requiring an excuse.
    • 20 states permit voters to vote via absentee ballots but require an excuse.
    • 6 states and the District of Columbia allow voters to request 'Permanent Absentee Status'.
    • 5 states (Oregon, Washington,Colorado,Utah, and Hawaii) conduct their elections completely by mail.

    Kansas RATS have already more than tripled their turnout from the 2016 presidential caucus after switching to an all-mail May 2 party primary this year.

    As of Monday evening, the party had processed 138,430 ballots compared to a turnout of 39,266 voters in 2016, when caucus goers went for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

    The spike in turnout occurred despite Sanders dropping out this month and endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden, the party’s presumptive nominee.

    Kansas FEMORAT Party Chair Vicki Hiatt credited the massive upswing to "strong voter interest" and the decision to switch to an all-mail primary in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
